Sometime a week later the same Dynamo Mukacheve beat Dynamo Berehove at home 5:2. Soon the chairman of the People's Council of Transcarpathian Ukraine :ru:Туряница, Иван Иванович|Ivan Turyanytsia received an official invitation to send an athletic team of Zakarpattia of about 150 athletes to the Ukrainian Spartakiad that had been scheduled to take place 23 August to 6 September 1945.
